Spells

Main article: Spells.

Spells are formed by arranging two or more than runes according to an English-like grammar: For instance (create fire missile) will become you a Fireball. Often in that location is an "opposite" spell that swaps Aam (create) with Nhi (remove) or Mega (increase) with Rhaa (decrease). Also, often similar spells exist for each elemental rune: Yok (fire), Fridd (ice), Cetrius (poison) and Folgora (lightning) - or sometimes with the elemental rune left out. Some spells aren't listed in the Spellbook so such experimentation may be the simply way to detect out well-nigh them in-game. These "secret" spells are marked with a reddish background hither.
